The demands of teaching an online course doesn\u2019t have to leave you feeling overwhelmed. In an eLearning Industry article, Dr. Liz Hardy suggested a few easy steps to help replace the feeling of constant pressure with a calmer, zen-like mindset that will make teaching online easier and more enjoyable. Dr. Hardy\u2019s suggestions are:<\/p>\n

Define \u201curgent\u201d<\/strong>. As you look through your To Do list, determine which items need your immediate attention and which items can be taken care of further down on the list.<\/p>\n

Explain your standard time frames<\/strong>. Set expectations for your students so they know what your communications and assignment turnaround policies are.<\/p>\n

Come out of the tunnel<\/strong>. When you\u2019ve spent a long time on a task, take a moment to step away from the task at hand. This can help to rejuvenate and recharge you.<\/p>\n

Create a sense of achievement<\/strong>. Your morale gets a boost when you can check items off your To Do list. These time management strategies<\/a> may be able to help.<\/p>\n

Revisit your positive feedback<\/strong>. Revisit compliments and positive comments that you\u2019ve received to help lift your spirits.<\/p>\n
